Addiction Recovery Centre (ARC) is a residential addiction treatment service based in Hampshire, UK. Established in 2006, the centre provides structured inpatient care for adults experiencing alcohol and drug addiction. ARC delivers a time-limited residential programme with on-site detox and therapeutic support.
Treatment Approach
ARC operates a structured residential treatment model grounded in the science of addiction. Programmes are designed to provide stability, routine, and therapeutic consistency across a defined treatment period. The core residential programme typically runs between six and twelve weeks, depending on individual clinical needs.
Clinically managed detox is available on-site as part of the admission process. Following detox, clients move into the residential phase of treatment, which combines therapy, recovery education, and structured daily schedules. The treatment framework draws on evidence-based psychological models and recovery-focused planning rather than purely medical intervention.
Therapy and Clinical Support
Therapeutic support at ARC is delivered through a combination of individual and group-based interventions. Treatment incorporates cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), 12-Step facilitation, and relational frame theory (RFT), providing a varied psychological framework for recovery work.
Group sessions and one-to-one therapy are integrated into the daily timetable, allowing clients to engage with both peer discussion and individual reflection. Therapy focuses on understanding addictive behaviour, emotional regulation, values-based decision-making, and relapse awareness.
Programmes and Services
ARC offers two structured levels of residential care within its treatment pathway, supporting clients through detox and ongoing rehabilitation.
- On-site medically supported detox programme
- Residential rehabilitation programme
- Structured daily group therapy schedule
- Individual therapeutic sessions
- Recovery planning and preparation for discharge
Accommodation and Environment
ARC operates a quasi-residential model designed to reduce the feel of an institutional setting. Clients initially stay in a welcome house before moving into shared residential houses from the second week of treatment. Accommodation consists of private bedrooms with double beds, with shared bathrooms typically used between two or three rooms.
The properties are furnished to a modern, comfortable standard and include access to outdoor spaces. Therapy sessions and groups are delivered throughout the day, with some content streamed directly to client rooms using supported technology. Staff are present to assist with daily routines and participation. The service holds a “Good” rating from the Care Quality Commission.
